It’s not a tutorial, merely helps the user to decide whether to -go on to a tutorial, and to ‘real’ use of LaTeX. -<p/>Tobias Oetiker’s ‘(Not so) Short Introduction to LaTeX2e’, is -regularly updated, as people suggest better ways of explaining things, -etc. The introduction is available on CTAN, together with -translations into a rather large set of languages. -<p/>Peter Flynn’s “Beginner’s LaTeX” (which started life as course -material) is a pleasing read. A complete copy may be found on -CTAN, but it may also be browsed over the web -(<a href="http://mirrors.ctan.org/info/beginlatex/html/">http://mirrors.ctan.org/info/beginlatex/html/</a>). -<p/>Harvey Greenberg’s ‘Simplified Introduction to LaTeX’ was written -for a lecture course, and is also available on CTAN (in PostScript -only, unfortunately). -<p/>The fourth edition of George Grätzer’s book “Math into LaTeX” -contains a “short course” in LaTeX itself, and that course has -been made publicly available on CTAN. -<p/>Philip Hirschhorn’s “Getting up and running with AMSLaTeX” has a -brief introduction to LaTeX itself, followed by a substantial -introduction to the use of the AMS classes and the -<i>amsmath</i> package and other things that are potentially of -interest to those writing documents containing mathematics. -<p/>Edith Hodgen’s -<a href="http://www.mcs.vuw.ac.nz/~david/latex/notes.pdf">LaTeX, a Braindump</a> -starts you from the ground up — giving a basic tutorial in the use -of <i>Linux</i> to get you going (rather a large file…). -Its parent site, David Friggens’ -<a href="http://www.mcs.vuw.ac.nz/~david/latex/">documentation page</a> is a -useful collection of links in itself. -<p/> -<a href="http://www.andy-roberts.net/misc/latex/">Andy Roberts’ introductory material</a> -is a pleasing short introduction to the use of (La)TeX; some of the -slides for <em>actual</em> tutorials are to be found on the page, as -well. -<p/>Chris Harrison’s -<a href="http://www.chrisharrison.co.uk/xophbook/mybooks/tex/index.html">TeX book</a> -presents basic LaTeX with useful hints for extensions -<p/>Nicola Talbot’s -<a href="http://theoval.cmp.uea.ac.uk/~nlct/latex/novices/">LaTeX for complete novices</a> -does what it claims: the author teaches LaTeX at the University of -East Anglia. That is one of several of Nicola’s -<a href="http://theoval.cmp.uea.ac.uk/~nlct/latex/">introductory tutorials</a>, -which include exercises (with solutions). Other tutorials include -those for writing theses/dissertations with LaTeX, and for using -LaTeX in administrative work. (The page seems to be an adjunct to -her LaTeX courses — fortunate people, the people of UEA!). -<p/>An interesting (and practical) tutorial about what <em>not</em> to do is -<i>l2tabu</i>, or “A list of sins of LaTeX2e users” by Mark -Trettin, translated into English by Jürgen Fenn. The -tutorial is available from CTAN as a PDF file (though -the source is also available). -<dl> -<dt><tt><i>Beginner’s LaTeX</i></tt><dd><a href="http://mirror.ctan.org/info/beginlatex/beginlatex-3.6.pdf">info/beginlatex/beginlatex-3.6.pdf</a>; <a href="http://mirror.ctan.org//help/Catalogue/entries/beginlatex.html">catalogue entry</a> -<dt><tt><i>First LaTeX document</i></tt><dd><a href="http://mirror.ctan.org/info/first-latex-doc.zip">info/first-latex-doc</a> (or <a href="http://mirror.ctan.org/info/first-latex-doc/">browse the directory</a>) - -<dt><tt><i>Getting up and running with AMSLaTeX</i></tt><dd><a href="http://mirror.ctan.org/info/amslatex/primer.zip">info/amslatex/primer</a> (or <a href="http://mirror.ctan.org/info/amslatex/primer/">browse the directory</a>); <a href="http://mirror.ctan.org/help/Catalogue/entries/amslatex-primer.html">catalogue entry</a> -<dt><tt><i>Not so Short Introduction</i></tt><dd><a href="http://mirror.ctan.org/info/lshort/english.zip">info/lshort/english</a> (or <a href="http://mirror.ctan.org/info/lshort/english/">browse the directory</a>); <a href="http://mirror.ctan.org/help/Catalogue/entries/lshort-english.html">catalogue entry</a> - (in English, you may browse for sources and other language versions at - <a href="http://mirror.ctan.org/info/lshort">info/lshort</a>; <a href="http://mirror.ctan.org//help/Catalogue/entries/lshort.html">catalogue entry</a>) -<dt><tt><i>Simplified LaTeX</i></tt><dd><a href="http://mirror.ctan.org/info/simplified-latex/simplified-intro.pdf">info/simplified-latex/simplified-intro.pdf</a>; <a href="http://mirror.ctan.org//help/Catalogue/entries/simplified-latex.html">catalogue entry</a> -<dt><tt><i>Short Course in LaTeX</i></tt><dd><a href="http://mirror.ctan.org/info/Math_into_LaTeX-4/Short_Course.pdf">info/Math_into_LaTeX-4/Short_Course.pdf</a>; <a href="http://mirror.ctan.org//help/Catalogue/entries/math-into-latex-4.html">catalogue entry</a> - -<dt><tt><i>The sins of LaTeX users</i></tt><dd><a href="http://mirror.ctan.org/info/l2tabu/english/l2tabuen.pdf">info/l2tabu/english/l2tabuen.pdf</a>; <a href="http://mirror.ctan.org//help/Catalogue/entries/l2tabu-english.html">catalogue entry</a>; - source also available: <a href="http://mirror.ctan.org/info/l2tabu/english/l2tabuen.tex">info/l2tabu/english/l2tabuen.tex</a>; <a href="http://mirror.ctan.org//help/Catalogue/entries/l2tabu-english.html">catalogue entry</a> -</dl> -<p/><p>This question on the Web: <a href="http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=man-latex">http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=man-latex</a> -</body> |
